March 7th we celebrated our 17 year wedding Anniversary! Every year as we always do we ship the kids off to my dad and Jana's for the weekend and spend the weekend alone. Grandma and Grandpa look forward to this time with our kids as much as we look forward to the time away from them ( and yes we do love our kids). The alone time helps us reconnect with each other and refreshes us to take on what ever the kids throw at us when they get home!
Sometimes we go out of town but this weekend we stayed in town and went out to movies, shopping, rented movies, ate out a lot, and slept in! Schaugaards were pouring cement early Saturday morning and Jake needed Warren's help badly; so Warren asked me if it was ok to go help them while I slept in and then he would hurry home so we could go out for the day. I agreed, my husband would have been devastated if he couldn't go help, he never wants to let anyone down. So as I woke up that morning and was laying in bed trying to get out to go shower, I was thinking how yummy a pink sugar cookie from Freddy's sounded for breakfast. Low and behold when I stumbled into the kitchen sitting on the counter was a pink sugar cookie waiting for me. Warren got up early that morning and got me a cookie and then left it for me as a surprise. I was so excited...... boy does that man know the way to my heart! :) That same day we went out to lunch at McGrath's so I could have me some Crab! I have been longing for Crab for years (yes it has been that long probably 6-8 years) Warren hates seafood but the sweet husband he is went to a seafood restaurant for me.
The server laughed when Warren ordered a burger and I ordered a very expensive Crab plate, he said in all his years of working there he had never taken an order for a burger. The food was great and I even got Warren to try my crab and he said it wasn't bad. We also made plans with our friends the Dutson's and went to their house and played games and ate junk, we always have an exciting time when we are with them. Mike Dutson is the reason Warren and I met. I became friends with Mike in High School and guess who his best friend was...... Warren! Mike takes pride in knowing that he is the reason we are together, well somewhat the reason we did fall in love.
I can't even put into words how I feel about my husband. He is the most amazing man I know! He would give the shirt off his back to a stranger if they needed it. I feel so blessed each and every day to have him by my side. He is my best friend, and I love the way we can make each other laugh. We do alot of laughing when we're not kissing, ha ha! We are more in love with each other than we were 17 years ago and our relationship only gets better with time! This weekend was seriously the best one ever, so good in fact that when Monday rolled around and we had to get back to everyday life I was super depressed! I texted Warren at work and told him that I was having withdrawls from him. I know I'm weird but I was so love sick that I actually felt depressed. He told me he felt the same way. Marriage really is work but when you are in a place that we are, it's happy work and the payoff is Beautiful!
